Black Butler -Public School Arc- was originally made at CloverWorks, with Kenjiro Okada — known for being the chief director of March comes in like a lion — helming the project as director. Hiroyuki Yoshino took care of series composition. Credit for character design goes to Yumi Shimizu. The anime’s music was composed by Ryo Kawasaki.

Crunchyroll gave this description for the anime’s plot:

Ciel Phantomhive is the most powerful boy in all of England, but he bears the scars of unspeakable suffering. Forced to watch as his beloved parents were brutally murdered, Ciel was subsequently abducted and violently tortured. Desperate to end his suffering, the boy traded his own soul for a chance at vengeance, casting his lot with the one person on whom he could depend: Sebastian, a demon Butler summoned from the very pits of hell. Together, they’ll prowl the darkest alleys of London on a mission to snuff out those who would do evil.
